[Connor Holliman @jconnorholliman]

Starting a new content roundup called “Holliman’s Hindsight” where I’ll quickly discuss what I’m seeing in tech, employment, the market, etc.

Here goes nothing!

Holliman’s Hindsight #1:

1. Much of the speculative VC money that invested in crypto projects last cycle is now chasing AI.

2. If you want to work in AI, your best bet is to move to San Francisco or New York. AI companies don’t seem to be building roots anywhere else right now.

3. AI tech companies are building variations of products that feel eerily similar to the TechCrunch Disrupt episode of the TV show Silicon Valley.

4. This is a terrible time to be working for larger companies with most doing layoffs, but is an awesome time to be looking at jobs within startups which seem to be hiring rampantly.

5. This job market heavily favors employers. Candidates have less leverage than I’ve ever seen. (Exactly why you need to be doing things to stand out, like building your own project/company or creating content)

6. There is no better time than right now to build your personal brand. People who are visible get more opportunities!

7. There are many GTM and growth opportunities out there. Distribution is still one of the most sought after responsibilities. Companies want to hire people who get them users and attention.

8. Your network is more important than your resume in tough job markets. Reach out and work those relationships!

Ecosystem Growth: Beyond the Hype
People still think ecosystem growth happens because of hype. But hype alone never lasts.

The Foundation of Real Momentum
Real momentum starts when several key elements consistently align:

• Users keep showing up.
• Builders keep deploying.
• Liquidity keeps moving.
• Communities stay active even when attention shifts somewhere else.

That is when an ecosystem stops looking like a trend and starts behaving like infrastructure.

The Virtuous Cycle
Over time, a powerful cycle begins to form:

1. More activity attracts more builders.
2. More builders create more products.
3. More products create more reasons for users to stay.
4. More users create stronger network effects.
5. Stronger network effects attract even more activity.

This flywheel is difficult to build and even harder to sustain.

Focusing on Lasting Impact
The interesting part is not who gets attention for a week. The interesting part is who keeps building systems that people actually continue using.

The signal becomes clear when the momentum starts compounding on its own 💙.
